Books by Series - Barataria Poetry Series

Series Editor(s): Ava Leavell Haymon

Contemporary language is evolving hard and fast, and our poetic craft evolves in partnership. Nimble poets utilize both, in these collections, and contribute to the great and ever-changing art form that stretches back as far as we know. The poems in these collections wrestle with dichotomies that confound us – violence and community, idea and the sensory life, public posture and private spirit, witness and resilience. Here, poet, poem, and language evolve together. Barataria welcomes its second poetry collection, The Diener, by Martha Serpas.
